And ALL a waste of time and money.
Discharging only one at a time accomplishes exactly NOTHING.
Charging only one at a time, likewise.
A battery will provide XX amp hours of energy. Two of the will provide twice that much. Whether they are discharged together or separately makes no difference. Same thing going the other way with replenishing the power with a charge.
The only exception I can imagine is if the owner/operator is prone to leave something running until the battery is totally flat. Then you could recover just by throwing a couple of switches.
P.S. This ain't my first trip to the Rodeo. I've been in the electronics industry for 50+ years.
